AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX

308 AM CDT SUN AUG 1 2010



.DISCUSSION...

THE HEAT WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS

UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE REGION. MANY

LOCATIONS REACHED THE CENTURY MARK OR JUST ABOVE SATURDAY

AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY/MONDAY SHOULD BE JUST AS WARM IF NOT SLIGHTLY

WARMER AS INDICATED BY INCREASING LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES ON

ALL THE SHORT TERM MODELS. DRY AIR WILL MIX DOWN IN THE AFTERNOON

AND KEEP HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR THE ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURE.

THEREFORE...HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL NOT BE REACHED. THE UPPER

RIDGE WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AND THIS MAY

RESULT IN SLIGHTLY COOLER HIGH TEMPERATURES. OVERNIGHT LOWS

THROUGH THE WEEK WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 70S...EXCEPT FOR A FEW

READINGS AROUND 80...MAINLY IN URBAN AREAS AROUND THE METROPLEX.



RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE WEEK WILL BE SLIM WITH STRONG SUBSIDENCE

IN PLACE AND ONLY MARGINAL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. THEREFORE...WILL

KEEP A DRY FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY.
